System for planning and implementation of project tasks in computer science teaching

Abstract

Project-based learning and teaching is a qualitative departure from classical learning, and it is different and more interesting for pupils. This paper presents a proposal for a simple system for planning teaching Computer science oriented to solving project tasks, as a proposal for teachers to prepare pupils for more complex project-based learning. Such a system enables planning, defining the goal, outcomes, initial testing, realization, verification of results and satisfaction analysis. The aim of this approach is to bring pupils through an interesting topic (mini-project) to curriculum issues and, based on student feedback, identify their motivation for more complex strategies, such as project-based learning.
